Heck, even I coulda written a script to handle that. Says Jacques: “My motto is, ‘Low-tech solutions for a low-tech presidency.'” Heh.

In Other News: my blogmother M’ris has done got herself her first house!

That’s bad.

They replaced Steve with Pam the New Mortgage Being.

…

That’s good.

Can I go now?
